INTRODUCTION

The Division of Support Programs has developed a self-monitoring processto simplify and streamline program monitoring of Job Training Partnership Act(JTPA) programs.

The goals of self-monitoring are:

To increase local responsibility for program compliance byencouraging school districts and schools tc perform a programcompliance self-review prior to SDPI star validation of thatreview.

To provide technical and management assistance to school districtsin preventing and resolving program compliance problems.

The self-monitoring process will follow a format similar to the three-yearcycle for program evaluation purposes.

During the 1988-89 school year, the self-monitoring process will bepiloted in selected school districts in each of the eight educational regions.

Summary of the Self-Monitoring Process

The following steps are recommended for conducting self-monitoringreviews:

1. Consult with appropriate district administrators.

2. Notify appropriate school and district staff.

3. Decide on the self-monitoring approach.

4. Select the self-monitoring team.

5. Develop a schedule for self-monitoring review.

6. Conduct the self-monitoring review.

7. Report findings to school district staff.

8. Submit self-monitoring report to the SDPI.

JOB TRAINING PARTNERSHIP ACT (JTPA) COMPLIANCE MONITORING

A. Purposes of Self-Monitoring

The major purposes of self-monitoring are that the school districts:

Take responsibility for reviewing JTPA programs for compliance,

Take corrective action when problems are identified, and

. Identify areas in which SDPI assistance is needed.

School districts which will be scheduled by the SDPI for a state monitorare strongly encouraged to conduct self-monitoring prior to the scheduled statevalidation monitor. All school districts, including those which are notscheduled for a state monitor, are encouraged to use this manual to conductself-monitoring at their convenience.

B. Selecting School Districts for State Monitoring

All school districts will be placed on a three-year cycle for statemonitoring. The SDPI will notify school districts identified for monitoring in1987-88.

C. Conducting a Self-Monitoring Review

The steps outlined below should be followed:

STEP 1 Consult with appropriate district administrator. The districtsuperintendent or designee consults with the JTPA coordinator.

The program review is more likely to be successful when it iscoordinated by the person in the district with administrativeresponsibility for JTPA.

STEP 2 Notify appropriate school and district staff. The JTPA coor-dinator notifies appropriate school and district persons ofthe monitoring review. Persons to participate may includethose responsible for the following:

District director of instruction,

District director of counseling,

School principals,

County superintendents or his/her designee, if appropriate,and/or

Other JTPA coordinators.

a.

STEP 3 Submit requested information. The JTPA coordinatorshould be responsible for completing school program

information sheets.

The JTPA coordinator will select a sample of schoolsto be reviewed based on the following criteria:

. Different program components and services among

- schools selected and

. Persistent or unique problems in a school.

The JTPA coordinator will then notify the schooldistrict of the sites selected.

STEP 4 Decide on the self-monitoring approach. There are many ways to

conduct self-monitoring. The models which follow were used by

some school districts during past years and may be adapted tothe needs and skills of your staff.

STEP 5

Administrative approach. For this approach, the JTPA coordi-nator and district administrators will monitor the programusing the self-monitoring instrument and prepare a report offindings.

Peer observation approach. For this approach, a team trained bythe JTPA coordinator will monitor the program for compliance atthe selected sites. Team members come from the same districtand/or from a different district and usually consist of staffmembers of equal rank who have similar program responsibility.

Eclectic approach. A combination of the above approaches maybe tailored to local needs. JTPA coordinator may find itappropriate to contact coordinators in a nearby school districtwho have conducted exemplary self monitoring reviews.

Regardless of which self-monitoring approach is chosen, theoutcome should be the identification of non-compliance issuesand the development of a plan for compliance.

Select the self-monitoring team. The school district identifiesstaff who will participate in the self-monitoring review. As

all program components operating within the school districtshould be monitored, it is important that persons knowledgeableabout each of the program components be included on the team.

The team should, at a minimum, include:

. JTPA coordinator,

. Principals of schools to be reviewed, and

STEPS

STEP 7

Teacher/coordinator.

Developing a schedule for self-monitoring. The school district

develops a schedule for the self-monitoring review. The fol-

lowing guidelines are suggested for scheduling self-monitoring

reviews:

a. Schedule the review for each site selected for validation

monitoring.

Inform all educational personnel about the purpose

of the monitoring review.

Arrange interviews with the principal and other

school leaders.

Allocate time to observe all program components and

services and interview appropriate staff.

Allocate time to observe a sample of students

receiving, or who received, JTPA services, and

interview teachers providing, or who provided,

services to the sample students.

Arrange a group interview of teachers, specialist

staff, and other school personnel involved with the

program. (Optional)

Allocate time to review pertinent records.

Arrange an interview with parents and other community

members, if appropriate.

b. Schedule a time to report self-monitoring findings to the

school district staff.

Conduct the self-monitoring review. Use the JTPA self-monitoring

instrument. Apply the procedure tests in the JTPA self-monitoring

instrument.

The instrument lists the references, review levels, procedures

and indicators to be used in collecting information to deter-

mine compliance. Sections a-b below suggest a sequence of

activities for conducting self-monitoring. Techniques that can

be used to conduct interviews, observe classrooms, and review

records appear as Sections c-e.

The purpose of intervigqs should be to:

II

. Verify information obtained from other sources.

Collect information not available through other

sources.

Resolve discrepancies among information sources.

d. Suggestions for observing classrooms.

The monitors should visit the classrooms and areas whereprogram services are provided to students in order togather basic information for the program monitor.Recommendations for conducting observations are:

Structure classroom visits to make the most of time

available.

Identify the students participating or who partici-pated in the program.

. Observe how individual assistance is provided.

Observe teachers, intake officers, and other schoolpersonnel (i.e., support staff, etc.) as they workwith s:udent.

Listen to the questions asked by students and theresponses made by school staff.

. Observe what the students are doing.
